Patricia Brotman, MD

Love Dr Brotman. Straight to the point, cleared up my rosacea and has my skin looking beautiful. She is with the wait.

I used to come to her regularly, pretty much once a month for my eczema, for a few years. In the beginning, maybe 5 years ago, things were good, (short wait times, more attention, very polite).
But I stopped going to her about 2 years ago because things had gotten out of hand there. I would make an appointment, and then wait for 2 hours to be seen. I’m a college student, I can’t afford to be missing class or taking away time from studying (yes I take it seriously). It was always loud in the waiting room, and packed. If I am waiting for two hours, I should just come check in, leave and they can call my cell phone when its my turn. Absolutely unprofessional! Dr. Brotman has no «bedside» manners, not that I need to have my hand held, but the fact that she was just extremely rude and inconsiderate during my last visit, I made sure to tell her that exactly. And she just looked at me, no apologies or anything.
My sister went to her for a while too. This lady love to cut off anything she can, and has no regard towards the physical appearance of her patients after she cuts their moles/​etc. off. HELLO? Maybe that was the original reason the patient went there, was to have something unsightly be removed (like acne). But she doesn’t care if it leaves a scar, and most of the time, it does. She left about 3 scars on my sister, which are pretty visible to the public unless my sister wears a turtle neck sweater; it’s about 110 degrees here, so I don’t think that’s going to happen. My sister has had those scars for YEARS now.
I will NEVER give her business again. Also, for being a skin doctor, her skin doesn’t look healthy either, just something I noticed.
Find someone else to see for your skin problems. AVOID.

I’m sitting in the Chino hills office right now. It’s been 40 minutes! What is the point of making an appointment if you are over-​booking your patients! SO UNPROFESSIONAL

I have never written a review but I felt I had to on this doctor. My husband needed to have some moles looked at so I went with him. We ended up waiting almost 2 hours. My husband was livid and told them we were leaving but of course they called us to the back right then… WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT! When we got in the room we waited for another 20 minutes — are you kidding me! When she finally came in he asked her about the moles and if he should be worried about any of them. She barely looked at them and just said that they should come off, then processed to tell the nurse to numb him in certain areas and left the room. Well we waited another 15 minutes and she returned and started cutting off every mole on him… even the ones that were not numbed (according to her «oh they are small… you can take it»)! Now my husbands a big man that can take a lot of pain but holy crap did she just do that!!! She spent about 1 minutes snipping everything in sight then said «ok» the nurse will take care of you and left. The nurse slapped a few bandages on and said to double check the one spot she having trouble controlling the bleeding when we got home. If it doesn’t stop just come back… now I know you have got to be kidding me! He ended up with a big scar :(My husband said that if she would have cut off one more he would have decked her!!! In his words «I will never go to that man hating blank-​ity blanking blank again!
If I could give her 1 zero I would.

If you like a doctor who gets to the point, and gives the attention, then I would suggest Dr. Brotman. What’s great is she has two locations:
1) 854 Magnolia Ave, Ste 202, Corona, Ca 92 879
2) 15 944 Los Serranos Country Club, Ste 180, Chino Hills, Ca 91 709
I have been to both locations and have never waited over 30 minutes to be seen, which I think is a typical wait time at any doctors office.
I felt that Dr. Brotman addressed my issue without beating around the bush. She got straight to the point with me, and when I was indecisive about whether to get a certain procedure or not, she did not hesitate to give me her recommendation.
The surgery I had was quick and easy, and only required some small stitches. When I followed up a few days later because I thought I had an infection, the office promptly requested I come in. The very next day I was seen and assured that all was well. Dr. Brotman and her staff provided the kind of service I not only expect, but value.

I am extremely busy and wouldn’t normally make time to review businesses, but especially for that reason, I feel compelled to warn others who also have limited schedules so they don’t waste their precious time at this office.
I was initially impressed that I was able to make an appointment to be seen within two weeks until I walked into the waiting room to standing room only. I wasn’t as concerned since I had an appointment until an hour and a half had passed, and I still hadn’t been seen. I noticed that patients were being seen in the order they came in rather than by appointment. I confirmed this when I looked at the sign-​in sheet, saw the arrival times and appointment times of those before me, and saw that those with later appointment times were being seen prior to me.
Moving on… I really wouldn’t even complain if the service had been worth the wait. Unfortunately, it was even more abysmal. Dr. Brotman had the attitude and bedside manner of Glee’s cheer coach Sue Sylvester. She often cut me off in mid-​speech, used jargon with little concern over whether or not I understood her explanations, completely disregarded (selectively chose not to answer) half of my questions, and literally walked out of the room while I was in the middle of asking the question, «What treatment do I need to take care of…» An important question to have answered, in my opinion. She ended our appointment so abruptly and inconclusively that I genuinely did not know our appointment had ended. It seemed as if she was rushing off to take an urgent call or quickly grab something to bring back for me… I was left hanging at the doorway until she sent an assistant in to schedule an appointment for a month later. I was confused, irritated, and at the same time, saw the humor in how incredibly ridiculous this doctor ran her practice.
I had left work early (which for me is extremely difficult to manage) to make this appointment only to be treated like sub-​human cattle. I felt extremely disrespected in regards to my time, intellect, and dignity. This doctor lacks professionalism and heart. This is NOT what I expect from a PPO provider.
